Answer 1

Several surveys states that the most fear of wearable devices is loss of Privacy. Wearable devices like Fitness trackers or smart watches track the user's daily routine in order to serve him much better. There is a chance that the data might be misused.
In a paper titled "Risk Perceptions for Wearable Devices", The report from a survey conducted on 2,250 wearable devices users in USA, The top five threats of the users are as follows
1. Privacy (mentioned by 25% of participants)
2. Being unaware of what the device is doing/collecting (15%)
3. Health risk, e.g., radiation (11%)
4. Safety, e.g. distracted driving (10%)
5. Social impact, such as dependence, decreased interaction with loved ones, etc. (9%)

The top threat is Privacy:
What the sellers privacy policy states is hat they don’t sell personal data. That said, the policies state that they may share personal data with associated business partners, usually ones who help them provide their services, in order to maintain the quality of the user experience.

Ofcourse the Devices has the personal data of user, but according to the privacy policy this data will not be misused. It is upto the user to decide whether the privacy is being invaded or used to help him.
